Chapter 122 Serena and Carson talk
Carson dropped by the hospital during one of Serena‘s shifts. She hadn‘t had the chance to talk to him about her new relationship with Logan yet. At first, it had just been so new and different, then she wasn‘ t sure how to tell him without hurting his feelings.
It wasn‘t like she and Carson had been dating or in any kind of actual relationship. Serena knew he had wanted more, though, and she hoped he wouldn‘t hold it against her.
“Serena, how are you doing?” Carson asked, walking right up to the nurse‘s station Serena smiled at hi m, setting her medical charts down. “I’m good,” she said, unable to hide her bright smile. She‘d been doing that a lot since Logan had started taking her on dates and spending family tim e with the kids. “You look really good,” Carson commented, grinning at her. Serena blushed and looked down. “Are you here for a medical reason?” she asked. “Actually, yes,” Carson admitted. He held up hi s wrist. “I think I sprained it or
something.” “Alright, I‘m free now,” Serena said. “Let‘s take a look.” Serena grabbed Carson‘s medical f ile from the cabinet behind the nurse‘s station. She motioned for Carson to follow her into one of the ex am rooms. Serena patted the table so he would sit on it. “You need me to sit on the table to look at my wrist?” Carson asked playfully. Serena rolled her eyes. “I think it would be more comfortable for you to sit,” she said. “But if you want to stand, I won‘t stop you.” Carson chuckled, but he sat down on the exam table.
“What did you do?” Serena asked, opening his file to a fresh page. “Just wrangling some of the rogues, ” Carson said with a casual shrug. “How‘s that going?” she asked. “I didn‘t know you were so concerne d with the inner pack workings,” Carson countered.
Serena bit her lower lip. She had been inquiring more about the pack politics and the way things worke d in Night Sky because there was the potential for her to become Luna one day. She realized she‘d slip
ped with Carson. Shrugging, Serena thought fast for an answer.
Serena turned around quickly, cheeks flushed. She felt embarrassed, wondering if it was that obvious t o everyone. “Yea, actually,” she said. Carson grinned. “He told me that the two of you were… seeing each other,” Carson admitted. Serena sighed with relief. “Oh, I didn‘t know,” she said. “I was just thinking about how to tell you.” She giggled nervously. Carson chuckled. “Don‘t worry about it, Serena. I know that you and L ogan have had some kind of tension brewing since you got here,” he said. “Honestly, I only thought I ha d a shot because he was with someone else.” Serena bit her lower lip and looked away. “I had a really gr eat time with you,” she said. “I don‘t want you to think I didn‘t. I don‘t want you to think that I led you on or anything.” “What?” Carson asked. He hopped off the table and put a hand on Serena‘s shoulder. “I would never think that. You were always straight with me. I didn‘t have any unrealistic expectations. Besides, I want you to be happy, and I want Logan t o be happy.” “You‘re a good man, Carson,” Serena said. “Someday, you‘ll make a lucky female incredib ly happy.” Carson grinned at her, shaking his head. “You‘re sweet,” he told her. “If Logan does anything to take you for granted or upset you, let me know and I will take care of it.” “Thanks, Carson,” Serena said. “Actually, I could use your help with something. I asked about the ro gues because I‘ve been wrestling with the fact that I could become Luna someday.” “Wrestling?” Carso n asked with a chuckle. Serena closed his medical folder and tucked it under her arm. “I want to get to know the pack better,” she said. “But I don‘t want Logan to think that I‘m uncomfortable or that I‘m trying to rush things.” “You don‘t think he‘d be happy to know that you‘re considering what it means to be Luna?”
Carson asked. Serena shrugged. “I honestly don‘t know,” she said. “We agreed to take things slow, and I don‘t want him to think I‘m making assumptions.” Carson chuckled again. He rolled his eyes at her. “Serena, Logan woul d be over the moon to know you‘re considering that future,” Carson said. “If you want, I can help you ge t to know the pack members and some of the inner workings.”
“I really would like that,” Serena said. “Alright, when is your next day off?” Carson asked. “Tomorrow,” s he said with a smile.
“My timing is great, then,” he said. Serena nodded and gave him his discharge form.
Serena returned to the nurse‘s station. She liked how easy Carson had made telling him the truth. She d going guy.
It pained Serena to see him alone, because he was a really great guy! She felt bad about their relations he wanted to help her and remain friendly. Serena didn‘t want to make waves or cause tension between Alpha and Beta.
She knew she‘d have to tell Logan that she was spending some time with Carson, otherwise he might g
She wasn‘t ready to come clean about her concerns about becoming Luna if that was where their relatio though! Serena called Logan on her way home from work. “Hey you,” Logan said. “Hey, how‘s your day going?” she asked. “Working late, as usual,” Logan said with a grumble. Serena giggled now,” she said with a laugh. Logan sighed into the phone. “Alright, hit me with it,” he said. “I have the da offered to help me out with something.” Serena said quickly. “Why can‘t I help?” Logan asked. “Because it is kind of something for y
